BillnutinHouston Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 D Bell listed as LT, Walker as RT starters... WTF? Don't let this confuse you. Just consider the source.
Pilsner Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 D Bell listed as LT, Walker as RT starters... WTF? This is how the Bills are projecting them for next year and in the future (if D Bell pans out). I'm curious to see how Bell does tonight. Walker must be happier being back at RT (at least for this game). This is major trial by fire for Demetrius. I'm crossing my fingers and my toes hoping Bell will do at least an adequate job. I'm sure he will make some big mistakes but hey this is the best way for him to learn and quickly. I'm excited to see him play LT tonight. I'm just not excited about the prospect of TE getting his bell rung. If we're going to progress fast, we have to take calculated risks. I'm surprised Jauron is going this route since he's so conservative. I hope it pans out tho
The Dean Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 This is how the Bills are projecting them for next year and in the future (if D Bell pans out). You sure? Depth charts usually mean squat, this time of year. I agree the Bills would probably prefer Bell fill that position for the long run, but until the injury Butler was listed as the starting LT.

I agree the Bills would probably prefer Bell fill that position for the long run, but until the injury Butler was listed as the starting LT. Pretty sure they just removed Jason Peters from last years depth chart, without making (m)any other changes. In any case, I wouldn't count on it being accurate. Did you notice that Dominic Rhodes isn't on here, but Xavier Omon is listed as third behind ML and FJ? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/teams/depth?team=buf

I agree the Bills would probably prefer Bell fill that position for the long run, but until the injury Butler was listed as the starting LT. I meant that in the future, in the long run, it seems like the Bills would like Bell to be able to become their starting LT. Who know's if he'll be playing LT in the next game.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 In view of the fact that Walker has taken nearly all his snaps at left tackle and that Bell has taken nearly all his snaps at right tackle...and in view of what Captain Caveman mentioned about the running back depth chart...I'm thinking that ESPN has done some sloppy work here and that they don't know what's going on. It'd be interesting as all hell if they were right though.

Captain Caveman Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 They also don't have wood or levitre on here at all, and Butler at right guard.

BuffaloBill Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Pretty sure that's an oversight on ESPN's part.... Yep - early season error
